Not sure what other dishes are like but butter chicken was awful. Dry chicken chunks in a sauce that tasted like Campbell's cream of tomato soup.

I had to knock off a star. The fare is quite amazing, I’ve always had great meals here. But . . . . . I have to take off a star. They added large TV sets since I was here before and the dining atmosphere is ruined by soccer games and what I guess is Indian rap music blaring on another. Totally awful distractions from trying to intimately enjoy their incredible food. Also, a mysterious “service charge” appeared on the very bottom of our bill. If it was noted on the menu I never saw it. The server’s explanation of this extra 15% charge was unintelligible. When the credit slip arrived, it was asking for yet another tip. I’m not a cheapskate. I worked in restaurants for many years and know how difficult it can be. Asking for a tip on top what already has a service charge is a bit arrogant. So, pretty awesome food. I would go back with earplugs and a sharper eye on the bill.

DON’T GET THE HONEY SHRIMP.We considered leaving after being served four small, tail-on shrimp that were shamefully overcooked for $10.Very glad we stayed and enjoyed the non-veg thali. The selection was fun, the food was delicious; and we were very satisfied with it. Service was extremely slow, but our server did apologize. We’re definitely going to try it again.

The butter chicken was excellent. Very tasty and great flavor overall. It comes with a side of basmati rice which you can combine and make it really good. I also ordered the garlic Naan and it was really good. Great to eat with butter chicken. I also tried the Roti bread and it was pretty good but not as “fluffy” as I was expecting. It was still very good. Definitely would go back.

I had a hankering for a thali meal, something that used to be standard at Indian restaurants- I was most satisfied with the non veg thali - though I just ate small tasting bites and brought most of the food home from the ample plate to share with my family for dinner!
Highly recommend Jhol momo (chicken). Mixed gril plate was not enough food for the money but it was still good.

Ordered carry-out from here 2 nights in a row. Fantastic food, -1 star because the staff seemed pretty unhappy/wasn't very welcoming. The veg momos, paneer, and naan are all tasty.

I was really looking forward to this place given the rave reviews. The service is friendly, and the dishes are served nicely, even though the place has a very casual and dated decor. That said, the Indian dishes disappointed. I had the non-veg thali. Here's what it included:- pea and potato samosa: perfect level of spice, probably medium spicy, but the fry dough on the outside was thick and not that crispy. - palak paneer: too heavy and creamy and not spicy enough - dal makhani: bland, lacking salt and smokiness and flavor - chickpea dish like Chana masala: also bland - lamb rojanjosh: I liked this one. Great flavor, tender meat- chicken tikka masala: too sweet, lacking depth and spice and seasoning - basmati rice: this was fine - naan: pretty good, lightly crispyIf I did ever return, I'd go for some of the Nepali specialties.
